Clint Tolbert - 8th Place
Clint Tolbert - 8th Place

Dan Martin came out ahead in a battle of sponsored tour pros against Clint Tolbert. First, Sam Panzica opened from the cutoff for 32,000, and Tolbert made it 90,000 on the button. Martin shoved all in for 235,000 in the small blind, and Tolbert called.

Tolbert: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Martin: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Martin had a dominating position, but things got scary when the turn made the board {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, giving Tolbert outs to a flush and a chop. The {5-Clubs} was the blank Martin needed to double.

Tolbert was down to a few big blinds, and he busted shortly thereafter.

Vince Pironti has more than 1.5 million.

Brady Bullard opened for 35,000 in middle position and was called by both Ross Bybee on the button and Vince Pironti in the small blind. After the {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, flop, both of Bullard's opponents called his 46,000 continuation-bet. An {8-Spades} arrived, and action checked to Bybee. He bet 125,000, only to see Pironti push 300,000 forward. Bullard mucked, and Bybee announced all in. Pironti snapped.

Pironti: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Bybee: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Bybee needed one of the last two queens to take the monster pot, but a {7-Hearts} was a brick. Pironti now has a monster stack.

"Tried to Bluff it All Off Didn't You?"

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 3,000 ante

Eric Bunch opened for a raise and was called in two spots. He bet 34,000 on the {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop, and Noah Nodine came along, while the third player folded. Bunch fired again for 76,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn, and Nodine thought about a minute before calling. On the {10-Diamonds} river, Bunch shoved his last 101,000 and was snap-called.

Bunch showed {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}; he had hit a straight on the river. A disgusted Nodine turned over {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

"I knew I had you smoked," he said with a shake of his head. "Tried to bluff it all off, didn't you?"
